Advent of Code

The 2025 Advent of Code is about to begin.

I recently started on the 2023 run. I was hoping to finish it (and 2024's run) before this year's one. It gets hard. I'm up to puzzle number 8 lol. I breezed through the first 5 puzzles but then the 6th one really got me.. the second part of it anyway. Spoiler alert: I had to relearn the quadratic formula.. and use my rusty math brain.

I thought I'd write this blog entry before trying number 8.. in case it takes me all day!

My code is on github

I'm not a great coder at all. Still learning. That's what it's all about.. and this blog is meant to help me on the journey.
